MO30 & Bilstein HDs in the House...
The outer box looked like it had been dropped from an airplane at 30k feet, but inside, gladfully all hardware appears intact and in good shape.
Thanks Devek!!

I must say it was the strut tower brace that I grabbed first and danced around the garage with, like a happy elf. It is SO fat, and SO light, no carpet cutting, and no moving parts - it's just poetry! I don't know if it will improve my driving any, but I think you NEED one!

Sulley,
You got to have a heck of a spouse to let you store all your 993 mod stuff in her living room!! Are the Michelin tires the Pilot Sport Ribs? The thread pattern looks very similar to the Bridgestone SO2A's I just had mounted. Not nearly as "busy" looking as the old SO2 tread pattern - hopefully your new tires (and mine) will be a lot quieter. Congrats on all the mod stuff. You're doing all the right stuff to make a good car into a great one.

congratulations! Enjoy the "new" car. Make sure you hit some decent highway onramps after you get everything installed. You will be amazed at the way the car feels. BTW .... strut brace ....definitely go for it. I got the KLA one as a cost effective option. Like it a lot, though I haven't compared it to the GT2 or other braces.

it was very temporary "staging area"....its all in the garage now :-)
yep...i think the so2a's would have been great also, but I am hoping for a "little" less noise,
"little" better wear, "little" better wet traction from the Michelin Pilot Sport Ribs. May not be enough difference to even notice.... we'll see. As everyone has said, they both appear great tires...
both are too damn expensive...i'll tell you that! either set was about the same price ~ approx $1k
